- Poughkeepsie (/pəˈkɪpsi/ pə-KIP-see), officially the City of Poughkeepsie, separate from the Town of Poughkeepsie, is a city in the state of New York, United States, which is the county seat of Dutchess County. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 32,736.[4] Poughkeepsie is in the Hudson Valley midway between New York City and Albany, and is part of the New York metropolitan area.[5][6] The name derives from a word in the Wappinger language, roughly U-puku-ipi-sing,[7] meaning "the reed-covered lodge by the little-water place", referring to a spring or stream feeding into the Hudson River south of the present downtown area.[8]
Poughkeepsie is known as "The Queen City of the Hudson". It was settled in the 17th century by the Dutch and became New York's second capital shortly after the American Revolution. It was chartered as a city in 1854. Major bridges in the city include the Walkway over the Hudson, a former railroad bridge (originally called the Poughkeepsie Bridge) which re-opened as a public walkway on October 3, 2009; and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Bridge, a major thoroughfare built in 1930 that carries U.S. Route 44 (concurrent with State Route 55) over the Hudson. The city of Poughkeepsie lies in New York's 18th congressional district.

Mid-Hudson Bridge
The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Mid-Hudson Bridge is a toll suspension bridge which carries US 44 and NY 55 across the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie and Highland in the state of New York. Governor and local resident Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor attended the opening ceremony on August 25, 1930. The bridge was renamed the "Franklin D. Roosevelt Mid-Hudson Bridge" in 1994 though the span is rarely referred to by its official name.
The bridge is 3,000 feet (910 m) long with a clearance of 135 feet (41 m) above the Hudson. At opening, it was the sixth-longest suspension bridge in the world. The chief engineer was Polish immigrant Ralph Modjeski, who had previously engineered the strengthening of the nearby Poughkeepsie Railroad bridge. Primary contractor was the American Bridge Company of Ambridge, Pennsylvania with steel from Carnegie. The span is unusual in that stiffening trusses were intentionally constructed on top of, not below, the deck.

Hello sweetheart I'm from poughkeepsie and I now live in Georgia and I have end stage heart failure plus so many other serious medical issues and I can't travel anymore I miss poughkeepsie so much all my family is there and it was like I was home just for a minute I had to stop the video several times because I started to cry but I wanted you to know how grateful I am to you for bringing me home God bless you
Thank you so much for leaving heart warming messages. I am glad that my video brought a little joy to you. My main purpose was to record the travel I made when I am able to. so I can watch them when I am getting old in the future. At meantime, I hope that others in need would enjoy the videos. Take care.
Never seen this famous bridge in a drive. Thank you! ☺️👍
So beautiful place!
Thanks for your upload.
I want to travel there.

It looks so peaceful. Not so overcrowded like here in NYC/Bronx. Wish I had moved here back in 2002 instead of tracking all the way to Utica, NY. Stayed about a year then came back to da Bronx. Love the tour... Thanks!
Long beautiful bridge, nice joyride
Beautiful Bridge, nice day driving

Isn't there a bridge comes out of Kingston to Poughkeepsie ? It's been 30 year's. I was born in Newburgh NY , but lived later in plattekill, Modena area wallkill, New Paltz & use to swim at Wappingers falls, lake minnawaska. I just love the area i wouldn't of wanted to grow up no where else. Thanks for bringing back so many memories for me.👍💜🙏
RVing keep it rolling There is another bridge cross Hudson rive from Kingston. You have very good memories.I really like the area around Hudson valley, beautiful and have lots of things to see and to visit. 👍😊🤝🌹

Great road video. Greetings my friend and have a nice Sunday. 👍19
Traveler Greg Thank you so much for watching. have great Sunday.😊🌹😍
OMG, so cool. I was there once and all the buildings are amazing.
It actually looks nicer than what I remembered. Poughkeepsie was hit hard by urban renewal. That’s why you don’t see too many old buildings. I think the city hall was a Bauhauss design (no windows, like a prison).
Everything looks so pretty and green.
New friend here😄 Great driving👍 Wonderful place♥️ Thanks for sharing my friend 😄Have a nice weekend😄
A COMFORTABLE FEELING Thank you so much for watching, my friend. I wish you have great weekend. best regards. 😊🤝👍
amazing i can't believe people live in places like this where everything looks empty
Poughkeepsie has been a dying city for at least the last 40 years. The local gov't is corrupt and nobody really gives a you know what about it. It's a shame, because it used to be a vital port town on the Hudson, similar to Peekskill in Westchester County. People avoid both like the plague now. Drugs are rampant, and yes, dealers are everywhere. Addicts and prostitutes walk the streets aimlessly, and too many neighborhoods in the downtown area are far too dangerous to walk through in the daylight, let alone during the nighttime hours.
thank you for sharing, lived in 214 main st for some time, very found memories of the city, hopefully will visit again!
Thank you for good Tour my friend ....
Que bello lugar!! Ahí vivía mi hija, guardo lindos recuerdos, el clima maravilloso.y la comida deliciosa. El o la que vaya va a disfrutar. 🤩🥳
Makes me homesick, lived on Dutchess turnpike a couple of houses down from Hornbeck rd , went to Arlington jr high which originally was the high school, now it's Arthur May middle school

on the left at 13:01 is a bar called The Brown Derby. that name is painted on the wall on the side facing the river. After it became a gay bar, someone painted an eyeball between Brown and Derby.
Hudson bridge looks beautiful :) I believe a drone shot would be even better 😊
maybe he doesn't have a drone
Very nice New York City video. Like 21. Have a nice week my friend.
This aint nyc lmao

Good video.
Did you go through Newburgh they have some revolutionary war places like George Washington headquarters on liberty St. There's, also Bear mountain state park so much to see in NY.
RVing keep it rolling yes. You are so right, there are so many to see in NY. But I did not get in chance to see Newburgh this trip. I will make another trip in the summer, so I will share more about Newburgh area. Thank you so much for watching. 🤝👍😊🌹
I drive through Poughkeepsie quite a bit and never really look at it. It looks nice on camera.
I live in Poughkeepsie it's not that bad
I’ve never been to Poughkeepsie but I hope I could take a trip there someday.
@@fernandoifill-ruiz3475 it sucks
I don’t miss the Hudson valley. Poughkeepsie is full of crime and high property taxes for homeowners and the education system is failing.
Facts it sucks here
Went downhill in the 80's
Haha, should have stayed straight. You took the WAPPINGERS route 9 exit and took your life in your hands on that merge to get to the Main Street exit.
ntwrkd Thanks. You are absolutely right. First time driving to the Poughkeepsie, So I followed GPS and realized that I should just stay straight. Well, I had fun drive anyway. 😊
Awesome video
nice video my friend....

Lol bro I’m like looking at random videos of this area because I’m thinking about moving and I keep seeing “weed” mentioned in the comments. I just noticed it’s the same person lmaoo.. I’m glad I can find connects if I do decide to move there.
frfr
ik the hookup
My family of 3 is thinking to move there, they like this place, l never been there..they want me to move with them, but l'm a little concerned about it, l dont know if l can deal with the snow and cold weather after living in D.R. and Florida for almost 6 years, some tropical people over there that can give me an advice? Jobs opportunities?
The coldest it gets is only like -3 in 1am

Kareem Robinson Thank you so much for watching. Welcome to my Chanel. Hope that you will have chance to visit New York in the future. Have great weekend. 🤝🤝🤝🤝😊😊
How close did you come on this drive to Vassar College?
Claudia Hansen I think Vassar college maybe 10 to 15 minutes drive.
This makes no sense: why get off the bridge going south only to turn around and go north on 9 and then get off right away onto Main Street? You could have just stayed on the arterial coming off the bridge, and then you're one long block south of Main Street.
mesfromusa Thank you so much. You must know the area well. This trip was My first time in Poughkeepsie. So I made unnecessary turns. 😊
@@lwltravel4782 I understand. I think I had you confused with a video tour of Newburgh that focused on the burned-out elements of that city. And I thought this was going to be something similar.
Yes, I know that part of the city well, having both lived further south on Route 9 and having commuted for several years across the Mid-Hudson bridge. I've also done the Walkway, by bike and on foot, any number of times.
Come visit Rhinebeck!
OH & Hyde park the Roosevelt mansion.
I live here
Cool.👍
Nice , Po town looks a lot better than people have been saying , hope it continues to improve ..
Kenneth Spinski This was my first time driving by. I do hope the town will getting better and better. 🤝😊
3:29 best pizza in pk
That's not main downtown Po town
I've never been to poughkeepsie but am thinking Bout moving because of its proximity to nyc... I cant help but notice all the trash in the streets. Is poughkeepsie a good place to live?
Bunny Brain Whether it is good place to live is depend on what you are looking for. It is 2 hrs away by train to go to NYC. My thought is if you have not been there, you probably need to check it out by yourself before you make decision to move. Like all the places, I am pretty sure there are good area and not so good area. So by visiting, you can decide whether it is right fit for you or not. 😊🌹💐
If you have kids, the school district isn’t that good, the middle school is the worst. Depending on where you live in Poughkeepsie it isn’t that bad
It's O.K, really depends where you reside. Great for commuting to the city. Check out Beacon or New Paltz also........TH Iz the One (RUclips)
